When you install FreeBSD over the top of it, that will get rid of XP. So, just follow the handbook or any of the good books that are out to do a regular (eg non-dual boot) install of FreeBSD. You could alternatively squeeze XP down enough to make room and install FreeBSD as a second OS and then you would have a dual boot machine with both XP and FreeBSD on it. But if you don't want to preserve the XP at all, then just do the straight FreeBSD install and voila, XP is gone. ////jerry > > Thank you, > > Anthony Ventura > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
